Arm Update...

It's strange, the swelling went down.. but Andrew says it looks like a sunburn now and takes up my whole upper arm. I think it warrants a trip to the doctor but this being Monday I would sit on hold with the appointment line for at least an hour...so I emailed my PCP's office with a link to the post with the picture.

it was very itchy too so I am not sure that a clot would be itchy? The itchiness has subsided but it's still red and follows the vein to my armpit. last night a new 'lump of hot red skin" formed near my elbow, but since the swelling has gone down. I am so confused...I'm guessing it could be a bug bite...but would a bug bite move down your arm as the day goes on?

Well at least today is Monday and I can contact a dr with only a $25 copay instead of a $150 copay for going to ER.
